City-EYE a platform for the surveillance and management of built-up area and infrastructures

Abstract Cities and built-up areas are the main environment of human civilization in the 21st century. The quick development of Space industry and processing capabilities allow near-real time monitoring of large target areas in cities. A proof-of-concept of a platform for the surveillance and management of built-up area and infrastructures (City-EYE) has been developed by Detektia and Insar.sk space companies, supported by scientific validation. The potential of City.EYE lies in the two-level analysis of entire cities and in the integration of different datasets from various SAR sensors and data dating from 1992 to present. The processed PSI data is input to the platform, together with relevant monitoring data (climate, urban development…). A two-scale approach allows monitoring the city and built up areas as a whole while simultaneously monitoring in detail critical infrastructures and buildings. City-EYE is part of a new generation of management platforms that integrate Space data in daily operations.
